About DMSO |
||
| What is DMSO? | ||
| DMSO is dimethyl solfoxide, a chemical which has been being studied for its medical uses for three or four decades. It has never been in what could be called wide-spread use. Here's an abstract: | ||
| A wide range of primary pharmacological actions of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been documented in laboratory studies:
membrane transport, effects on connective tissue, anti-inflammation, nerve blockade (analgesia), bacteriostasis, diuresis,
enhancements or reduction of the effectiveness of other drugs, cholinesterase inhibition, nonspecific enhancement of resistance to
infection, vasodilation, muscle relaxation, antagonism to platelet aggregation, and influence on serum cholesterol in emperimental
hypercholesterolemia. This substance induces differntiation and function of leukemic and other malignant cells. DMSO also has
prophylactic radioprotective properties and cryoprotective actions. It protects against ischemic injury.
